ANDRU DONALDS

Andru Donalds wishes to thank:

 

Special thanks to God the creator for blessing me with such talents.

My Mom & Dad... without you there would be no me. You stood by me through thick and thin and put up with all my weird ways, and always gave me 100% of your time, love, experience and knowledge. I worship the ground you walk on, forever until there is no more existence before and after life.

My sister Lydia, who is no longer with us. You will always be my best friend. You kept saying to me "Don't worry Andru... you're going to make it!". I'm still striving but I'll get there my love, I know you're looking down from heaven smiling! Love You.

Mishale... "loving you is heaven, missing you is hell" need I say anymore. Love you!

Special thanks to Eric Foster White, my producer, songwriting partner and friend for believing in me and showering me with your knowledge and immense talent... you're going to be one of the "greats"!

"Big Up & Respect!" to Bruce Lundvall, Gary Gersh and Steven Schenfeld for giving me the opportunity to express myself on vinyl, CD and whatever else the technology has to offer.

The whole staff at Metro Blue & Capitol Records in New York & Los Angeles... I've met a lot of cool people at this label.

Lots of "Respect" to my manager Mark Shimmel, Ian Henderson and the staff of Kahane/Shimmel Management.

David Renzer & Cheryl Stotter at Zomba for all your help... much appreciated.

Kenny MacPherson and Warner Chappell Music.

All the musicians who played the best blood-clot(!) music.

Mike Allaire, Jim Munn and all the engineers.

"Miky Bassie" the coolest individual I've ever met & monster bass player, songwriter & friend.

Andrew McKintyre, my "brother", touring partner and talented songwriter.

Andrew Simpson... seems we've grown apart, but I'll always remember the days we hung out and wrote song after song, we learned so much from each other while improving our craft. Maybe one day we'll be close again.

Mikal Roze, the greatest performer reggae music has produced!

Eugene Masson, Stuart Silfen, Marvin Zolt, Ron Zeelens, Tony Manahan.

"Big Up" to Beris, Dennis Wright who has been a good friend, Brian & Bruce Byfield, F.P. Proctor, Camille Christian, Ingrid Phit, Annmarie Williams, Jana Bent, all my family in New York and Miami... thanks for the support, Chris Lopez & family, Sly Dunbar, Tony Soyemi.

Special thanks to The Beatles, Prince & Bob Marley... "gods" who changed my life forever.

I dedicate this album to my sister, Lydia DOnalds, who died in November of 1991, on the saddest day of my life. I know you're having lots of fun in Heaven, hope I get there to see you.

I believe music is for the world no matter what cultural background one is from, and that Artists should never be categorized because of the color of their skin. I've been fighting this fight all my musical life and this recording is a personal triumph. World Pop is the music of the future. "Mi say so!"

Peace...

ANDRU
